Reporting: Stash, Design Wall, UFOs, Tour de Fleece

My design wall has a few more purple arrowhead blocks on it, and there are a bunch more cut, starched, and partway sewn.

Jack Junior is off the frame.  I made a bunch of bias binding for all those edges, enough hopefully for the bed-size version as well.  I got distracted from my original schedule for the June UFO, but since finishing the Jack's Chain quilt was a 2-month job on my schedule, and I finished the big top and even wrote a tutorial, I'm counting it as June's project linking this up to the UFO report.  July's UFO is #3, which is a bunch of log cabin blocks I've had sitting around for awhile, should be doable as long as I don't try for a bed-size quilt.  I'm also at a holding point with any more quilting I do on my Next Generation Grace frame; the plastic tracks have worn out (resulting in very bumpy quilting on Jack Junior) and I'm waiting for some replacement parts.

That should give me time to work on the Tour de Fleece.  Here's my Day 3 photo, of Day 2's spinning (well, Day 1 was most of the right bobbin).  This will be for my Ravelympics project.  They have complied with the USOC bullies and have chosen the name "Ravellenic Games," which is actually classy and dignified of them.  But for me it will always be either the Ravelympics or the Knitting Olympics.  And for those who argue that Congress has granted the USOC the exclusive trademark to the word "Olympic" or anything that resembles it, I would ask if this is the same Congress that passed a massive tax on the middle class without even realizing it was a tax?
